The Fall Came

How many times have I heard that saying... Pride comes before a fall... Too many to count, yet I forget it all the time!

These past couple of weeks at work have been really different and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I was exhausted after being at work everyday. It was hard to get excited about things and I felt as though I was constantly advocating for myself. I realized tonight that this is not what God would have me doing right now. I know now that I have let my pride and selfishness creep back into my life to confound me to only seeing what is important to me. I am missing what is important to God.

The book that is helping to make these realizations clear to me is called "Having a Mary Spirit" by Joanne Weaver. She writes in such a realistic way that you come out of reading a few pages with more than you could ever know what to do with.

Here are just a few fun pics

Jumping in Guatemala. That was such an amazing trip!












I think this is Jesus... It was a big open market full of Guatemalan artifacts. Reminded me a lot of Indonesia...
